Flysafair on Flightradar24

Hi Guys,

Anyone know if Flysafair planes will be equipped with ADS-B transponders allowing us to see them on Flightradar24?

Cheers

Was this the plane that Mango was/is using in a all white colour scheme?

No, Mango have no all white aeroplanes. Perhaps you're getting confused with the Star Air Cargo B733 ZS-VDB with the white fuselage and orange tail, on a wet lease/charter from Star Air Cargo. Mango had a technical snag develop on Saturday so they chartered Safair's 737-400(s) to help out. This is why you saw FySafair flying around using the Tulca call-sign. I'm sure Dave Andrew and co. were thrilled!

My wife flew on ZS-VDP recently from CPT to PLZ and it was an all white B 737. No titles nor logos only the reg on the tail section and it was being operated by Mango.

I believe it came from Velvet Sky, I just thought it was being used/bought/leased by Flysafair.

Probably also chartered or related to the wet lease agreement between SAC and Mango but it certainly wasn't being operated by Mango. Just a Mango flight operated by Star Air Cargo. In fact your wife might recall that the cabin crew on board were not Mango employees, nor were they in Mango garb. ZS-VDB, though operated by Star Air, flies for Mango on a daily basis to assist while Mango increase their fleet and crew compliment. Being a 733 as oppose to a 738 (smaller therefore lower seating capacity), they generally use it for PE flights.

You more than likely correct, my wife certainly wouldn't notice the difference in uniforms and branding inside the aircraft..lol

The all white aircraft could have been ZS-ASL also a Safair 737-300
